NIH SNAP

When do you use SNAP?

Your NIH award notice will specify if the grant is subject to or excluded from SNAP. It is generally used for awards covered under Expanded Authorities and Federal Demonstration Partnership (FDP) terms, except Program Project Grants (P01s) and Outstanding Investigator Grants (R35s).

Required Documents

• Face Page (Form Page 1)
  Leave the direct & total costs requested blank.
   
• Progress Report Summary (Form Page 5)

Answer the following questions in the space provided, THEN use this guide to complete your two-page summary.
 
1. Has there been a change in the other support of key personnel since the last reporting period? Provide specific information only if active support has changed, for example, a previously active grant has terminated and/or a previously pending grant is now active. Submission of other support information is not necessary if support is pending or for changes in the level of effort for active support reported previously.
    
2. Will there be, in the next budget period, a significant change in the level of effort for key personnel from what was approved for this project? A significant change in level of effort is defined as a 25% reduction in time devoted to the project. For example, if a key person is expected to reduce his/her effort from 40% to 30%, this is a 25% reduction in the level of effort and must be reported.
    
3. Is it anticipated that an estimated, unobligated balance (including prior year carryover) will be greater than 25% of the current year's total budget? Your explanation should include why there is a significant balance and how it will be spent if carried forward into the next budget period.
    
• Personnel Report (Form Page 7)
  Using the table, list all key personnel (salaried and unsalaried) for the current budget period at the applicant organization or elsewhere, who participated in the project during the current budget period. Provision of social security numbers is voluntary and will be used only for program management purposes.
   
• Budget – required for ORS only. If easier, copy the budget from the initial award and circle the appropriate budget year.
